4 P May 2014 Del Sur News 29 - Mayo 2014 P.4 SURVIVOR from Page 1... This remarkable reality game show, now produced in so many countries around the world, was originally created in 1992 by the British television producer Charlie Parsons. The show features contestants who are isolated in various natural and remote settings and compete for A CASH PRIZE OF 1 MILLION DOLLARS. During the series, contestants are eliminated and voted off the show by other tribe members until only one contestant remains - the "Sole Survivor." In the USA alone, each series of SURVIVOR (which produces 15 hours of television) is watched by a primetime audience of around 10 million viewers per week. SURVIVOR also airs in approximately 150 countries around the world reaching an international audience in excess of 95 million viewers. Jesse Jensen, a Survivor Producer told us The San Juan del Sur community was so welcoming when we were here in It was such a pleasure being here and was one of the main reasons we decided to return to film another two seasons of the show. We just hope we are able to give back to the community as much as we receive. By way of further explanation why they came back and from a production point of view, Jensen listed off the main reasons that decision was made; ŸSuch a beautiful location for the show with a bunch of remote beaches to film on, but with the great logistics of San Juan so close by for accommodations and supplies. ŸAwesome local crews. They have great skills, work ethics and were such a pleasure to work with. ŸL o c a l c o m m u n i t y s u p p o r t w a s overwhelming. ŸThe Alcaldía of SJDS was very supportive of our project and was always there to help. They also played an integral role in our return. ŸNational Government support was also extremely good; INTUR and Pro Nicaragua both supported the project and helped us smooth out any issues throughout the process. ŸOur large international crew of over 200 people loved the town and the access to all the great local bars and restaurants, this made it as crew favorite as far as locations are concerned. Ultimately, it was the friendship and support we were shown by the people of Nicaragua that made us really enjoy our experience last time and want to return here to film another two seasons. SURVIVOR employs over 300 local workers from the San Juan del Sur area. In addition, they have filled both of San Juan el Sur's larger and most popular hotels;villas de Palermo & Pelican Eyes Resort and Spa, which in turn funnels visitors into the other accommodation choices.

Solo en los Estados Unidos, cada serie del Survivor (que produce 15 horas de televisión) es visto por una audiencia en horario estelar por alrededor de 10 millones de espectadores por semana. SURVIVOR también transmite en aproximadamente 150 países de todo el mundo, alcanzando una audiencia internacional superior a 95 millones de espectadores.

Sólo esperamos que seamos capaces de dar a la comunidad tanto como hemos recibido". A modo de explicación más porqué vinieron y desde un punto de vista de producción, Jensen enumera las principales razones porque la decisión fue tomada; ŸUn hermoso lugar para el show con un montón de playas remotas para filmar, pero con la gran logística muy cerca de San Juan para alojamiento y suministros. Ÿ Impresionantes equipos locales. Tienen grandes habilidades, ética de trabajo y fue un placer trabajar con ellos. Ÿ El apoyo de la comunidad local fue abrumador. ŸLa Alcaldía de San Juan del Sur fue un gran apoyo para nuestro proyecto y siempre estuvieron ahí para ayudar. También jugaron un papel integral en nuestro retorno. ŸEl apoyo del gobierno nacional también fue muy bueno; INTUR y Pro Nicaragua apoyó el proyecto y nos ayudó a suavizar cualquier problema durante todo el proceso. ŸA nuestro gran equipo internacional de más de 200 personas le encantó la ciudad y el acceso a todos los bares locales y restaurantes, este hecho fue favorito para el equipo en cuanto se refieren a lugares. En última instancia, fue la amistad y el apoyo que ha mostrado el pueblo de Nicaragua que nos hizo realmente disfrutar nuestra experiencia la última vez y nos hizo volver aquí para filmar otras dos temporadas. SURVIVOR emplea a más de 300 trabajadores locales de la zona de San Juan del Sur. Además, han llenado los dos hoteles más grandes y más populares de San Juan el Sur; Villas de Palermo y Pelican Eyes Resort y Spa, que a su vez canaliza a los visitantes en las otras opciones de alojamiento.

20 P May 2014 Del Sur News 29 - Mayo 2014 P.20 National News By Kelvin Marshall Del Sur News Election Colombia The race to become president will go to a second round on June 15th between Rightwing candidate Óscar Iván Zuluaga and the incumbent PresidentJuan Manuel Santos. Last Sunday, the second round was called with nearly all polling stations counted and Zuluagawon 29.3 per cent of the vote and Santos (President since 2010) won 25.6 per cent of the vote. Latest Popularity Contest The Director General of the Nicaraguan Police, First Commissioner Aminta Granera has once again topped the list of the most popular Nicaraguan personalities in which the President, Daniel Ortega was second. Cid Gallup (Latin America) conducted the poll this month by asking 1,203 people who they like most out of a list of Nicaraguan pubic personalities. Granera scored 79% favorable opinion, 7% unfavorable and 14% had no opinion. The President received a score of 78% favorable, 12% unfavorable and 10% had no opinion. First Lady Murillo Zambrana in third scored 72% favorable, 16% unfavorable and 12% no opinion. Drug Bust and Shoot Out - A drug bust on the Pan American Highway turned dangerous as shots were fired by the traffickers as well as the National Police causing an injury to at least one innocent person in passing car. Nearly 235 kilos of cocaine was later found hidden in a black Honda Ridgeline truck bring Managua plates. The frightening incident occurred at about 6:30pm last Friday at the police checkpoint near the Ochomogo Bridge when the driver of the truck refused to stop. Police gave chase, there was an exchange of fire and the vehicle was stopped when it tried to escape through a sugar cane field. The person injured was a teacher who was traveling in a passing car. She was treated at hospital in Rivas for non -lifethreatening injuries. There were no reports of any police officers being injuries. Poor Electrical Connections Homes and small businesses that don't meet the required level of safety are ticking bombs say fire specialists. In Managua, three fires in less than a week were caused by bad electrical connections. The main cause is overloading the system after an initial fire inspection and then installing too many devices on the system that was approved for much less. Experts found that the larger businesses with more corporate responsibility met the electrical and fire standards which were much stricter than smaller businesses. Bird Watching A new project including an International Bird Festival for Granada was announced last week which will be funded (234, 000 Euros) by the European Union and the Central Government of Nicaragua and implemented by INTUR and the Fundación Cocibolca with technical support from the Agency for Cooperation of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The objective is to promote the natural and cultural potential of the Apoyo, Mombacho and Zapatera (AMZ) areas in a sustainable manner. They have chosen the local cooperatives of Claudia Chamorro and La Granadilla, the Rural Tourist Project Charco Muerto, Finca Laguna Azul (Apoyo) and Hotel Santa María on the Isla Zapatera and Finca La Calera on the Lake Nicaragua to help support the project. The organizers aim to create employment in the rural areas with the construction of tourism infrastructure. The second part of the project is the execution of the International Bird Festival in November. The area has islets, lagoons, wetlands, Mombacho cloud forests and dry forests on Zapatera and are home to a total of 270 species of birds at various times of the year. Nicaragua Joins the Lobbyists - The government of Nicaragua has engaged the services of Akin Gump to work on the Central America-Dominican Republic- United States Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) that took effect in In particular they will work on the tax-free access to textiles from the United States which makes Nicaragua an attractive place for U.S. based apparel businesses to produce clothing in Zona Francs (Tax Free Zones). Under CAFTA, clothing manufactures in Nicaragua can import U.S. fabrics duty-free and then manufacture some apparel that can be sold back to America under the same arrangement. Lobbyists say textile exports from America to Nicaragua increased 60 percent after the trade deal was struck. A Duke University (USA) study states that more than 1,000 U.S. textile and manufacturing jobs depend on the Nicaraguan textile agreement. Despite the deal, Nicaragua (the poorest of the Central American countries) still has a much smaller apparel industry than some of its neighbors. San Juan del Sur Prepares to Celebrate its Patron Saint with the FIESTA PATRONALES!

Granja explained that the candidates will have to find the votes for their coronation from the people. As well there will be a panel of judges who will be the people who will study the work of each candidate and decide on a winner. He clarified that the would-be Queens will sell tickets and donate the money from the sale of bonds to implement social and community projects that they choose.
